Sir Paul Is Pissed About American Trespassers

American tourists and their handy cams know no bounds. A few months ago, a curious couple veered off of a public trail and trespassed upon Paul McCartney's 933-acre, East Sussex (UK) estate. The pair recorded their excursion and, naturally, they posted it on YouTube! Listen for their stalker narration:

This is it, this is his house ... This house is beautiful ... Oh God, we are going to be in SO MUCH TROUBLE.

Of course, this has Sir Paul's knickers in a twist. A McCartney confidant told today's Mirror:

Macca is livid. He is supposed to have tight security to protect him and his family but this pair walked straight in. It's lucky they were harmless. He just didn't need something like this happening. The divorce is giving him enough stress.
The pride of America posted another vid from their adventures in trespassing, in which we hear Paul rehearsing. (Watch it here.) Although wetting themselves at the sound of that jam session was entirely appropriate, we don't condone the subsequent encroachment. But, in fairness, maybe they just didn't see that fence while they were leaning on it.

He needs an electric fence and sniper beds. Problem solved.

Well, considering George Harrison was seriously injured by an intruder, and John Lennon was killed by a crazed fan, maybe we can forego the smirks, eh Stereogum?

It reminds me of a horror movie. "We are gonna be in so much trouble!" When McCartney serenades us to death with....."Freedom" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE HORROR!!!!!!

Seems like something his ex might've done to J. Lo for wearing furs.
